In #ToEveryYouIveLovedBefore (#僕が愛したすべての君へ) #anime #film, it posited that there are small “parallel shifts” that we don't notice. Say, you placed your keys on top of a drawer, the next moment it's not there; then it's back.
But I do notice it! :p
I've also been calling it “parallel shift” since I became aware of my own shifts in the 90s!
I even did experiments to somehow influence my shifts, or to force it. Little success. I mean, like 1 out of 10 attempts. ;)

The most common denominator in isekai (parallel worlds) and time travel scifi is: “each reality is vibrating in a unique frequency”.
It has been around since the 90s, from Japanese anime to Western live-action TV series.
How did it start? Who first used it? I have no idea. Maybe it started from DC or Marvel comics, or even earlier than that.
Nonetheless, it was the simplest idea (I think) to answer the question: “How can we detect if someone is from a different world/reality?”
And it actually works.
And maybe, just maybe, if alternate realities do exist, we do vibrate in different frequencies.

These are some of the fictional works that I remember (or I'm misremembering) which used this ‘theory’.
* Dual! Parallel World Trouble / Tenchi Muyo universe
* Serial Experiments Lain
* Star Trek
* Sliders
* Fringe
* The FlashWhat else? Do you remember any?

Season 04 Episode 11 of Fringe featured the meeting of the two Agent Astrid Farnsworth, one an autistic and the other neurotypical.
This episode aired on 2012-02-04 and entitled “Making Angels”.
The autistic Agent Astrid Farnsworth came from the “Amber World” (the parallel world), and the NT Astrid is from the “Prime World” (our world basically).
The character is, I would say “basic” as far as portrayal of an autistic person. Some would say it's a stereotype. But I like her nonetheless because it was not exaggerated, and the focus was not on her autism instead it was about her many skills.
And in this episode, we saw through her that autistic people are humans too. That we have our own struggles, we do cry and feel emotions (contrary to the claims that we lack it), and we just want to live like everyone else.

The autistic Astrid was introduced in season 2 (2009–2010). The actress, Jasika Nicole, was praised for her performance of both the neurotypical and the autistic Agent Astrid.
How about you, what do you think of her character? How was the performance (specifically with autistic Astrid)?

We are seriously lacking new live-action TV series and movies related to isekai (parallel world).
I've watched every English title in every listicle I can find through search. :blobbonecry: I'm currently going through the remaining Korean titles I still have in my watchlist.
Parallel world, or isekai, doesn't have to be science fiction, it can be fantasy. I guess it's easier to write time travel stories? While I love time travel―especially if its time travel is complex—parallel world stories are more interesting.
More! :ablobbonebongo:
PS When it comes to books, we have plenty. But there are times when I just want watch.
